General Overview
The DDRC has acquired U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) demographic data for the nation, covering the years 2010 to 2022. This is a subset of the full dataset and only includes estimates by state and county for age, race, and sex, as well as the margin of error for these estimates. The ACS provides valuable insights into population and demographic changes.
The data provided reflects information available from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey at the time of download. Please note that this data may be updated or corrected without prior notice as new information becomes available.
